Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined for the spiced apple cranberry pancakes base.
Step 2: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined; the spiced apple cranberry pancakes batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Step 4: Gently fold in the grated apples and the chopped cranberries into the spiced apple cranberry pancakes mixture.
Step 5: Heat a large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Step 6: Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7: Flip the spiced apple cranberry pancakes carefully and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes more.
Step 8: Serve the spiced apple cranberry pancakes warm with maple syrup and extra fruit if desired.
